1 – INTRODUCTION

The 2011-2014 was for the Portuguese institutions dedicate to seismic observation and seismological investigation a period for the consolidation of the great improvements in monitoring saw in previous years. All major institutes now transmit data in real time to IPMA (the Portuguese agency responsible for seismic observation) and also to major European and international consortia like ORFEUS and IRIS.

Portuguese researches were very active in all the main European projects like SHARE, NERIES, NERA, EPOS, TOPO-EUROPE, NEAREST, ASTARTE, EMSO and ESONET. As regards national projects we outline the WILAS project that managed to join all institutes into a monitoring project with temporary stations that complemented the Spanish TOPO-IBERIA and European TOPO-EUROPE projects. As a result a comprehensive seismic database was established at IPMA now profiting all the Portuguese researchers. 2011-2014 saw a steady capture of national funds for Seismology research resulting in a notorious number of publications that are presented below for each of the contributing institutes to this report.

One of the major achievements during this period was the successful organization of the Welcome to the first newsletter of the 15th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering where Seismology was one of the main subjects. Portugal also organized two national meetings of the Portuguese Association for Meteorology and Geophysics (in 2011 at Setúbal and in 2013 at Ericeira) and the 9th Congress for Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (Lisbon, 2014). The 8th Portugal and Spain Assembly for Geodesy and Geophysics was held in 2014 at Évora, in a successful organization by the CGE.

2 – IPMA - Division of Geophysics of the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera

2.1 Introduction

The work developed by the Division of Geophysics of IPMA is compiled in the following paragraphs, where the core activities were related with the development of the seismic monitoring and related services.

2.2 Seismic network

2.2.1. Mainland Portugal

At the beginning of 2011, the seismic network was well established, being composed of 24 stations owned by IPMA. The core of the network is based on a broadband typology, with 15 stations equipped with broadband seismometers (1 STS2 [120sec]; 10 CMG-3ESPc [120sec] and 4 CMG-3T [120]) and strong-motion sensors co-located (1 Episensor; 14 CMG-5T), as well as with 24bits digitizers (1 Q330; 14 CMG-DM24). Some of the short-period stations were upgraded during the reported period, adding new 24bit digitizers and accelerometers co-located. Including this upgrades the mainland network has more 6 extended short-period stations (6 LE3D5sec) with strong-motion sensors co-located (6 CMG-5Tc) and 24bit digitizers (6 CMG-EAM6), 2 short-period stations (LE3D1sec) with 16bit digitizers (Mars88) and 1 strong-motion station (CMG-5T and Geosyg GSD 24bits).

During the reporting period another broadband station was also installed (PSBE), equipped with a CMG-3ESPc broadband sensor, a CMG-5Tc accelerometer and a 24bit digitiser (CMG-EAM6).

This network is complemented with other stations belonging to national and international institutions and agencies.

The data is real-time transmitted to the Data Centre located in Lisbon, using mostly VSAT links but also public Internet (DSL and GPRS) and VPN's.

2.2.2. Madeira archipelago network

At the beginning of the reporting period, the network in Madeira has 5 seismic stations operating: 2 broadband stations equipped with CMG-3ESPc [120sec] seismometers, 2 CMG-5T co-located accelerometers and 2 CMG-DM24 24 bit digitisers; 3 extended short-period stations, based on LE3D 5sec sensors and Mars88 16bits digitisers.


IUGG 2015 2/20

Major problems were faced with one of the BB stations, mostly related to a radio link between the acquisition node (located on a remote place) and the central recording facilities. This was solved in 2013 with a major change in the infrastructures, concentrating all the instrumentation in the acquisition node and moving the transmission from fix DSL to mobile GPRS that became available.

The data is real-time transmitted to the Data Centre located in Lisbon, using 2 VSAT links and public Internet (GPRS) and VPN's.

2.2.3. Azores archipelago network

At the beginning of the reporting period, the network in Azores had some major problems related with energy and communications. In this particular issue, it was necessary to completely deactivate the former radio links and implement different transmission technologies based on IP (mostly VSAT when possible and GPRS).

Major developments during the reporting period were achieved. At the end of 2014 the seismic network in operation was composed of 22 seismic stations owned by IPMA. 6 stations are now equipped with broadband seismometers (6 CMG-3ESPc [120sec] and strong-motion sensors co-located (4 CMG-5T and 2 CMG-5Tc), as well as with 24bits digitisers (4 CMG-DM24 and 2 CMG-EAM6). Some of the short-period stations were upgraded during the reported period, adding new 24bit digitisers and accelerometers co-located and also new transmission systems. A new strong-motion station (CMG-5T and Geosyg GMS+) was installed in Faial Island.

The regional network is complemented by 2 other broadband stations, from the CTBTO and IDA, and 1 short-period station from CTBTO. The 3 mentioned stations are operated and maintained by IPMA.

The data is real-time transmitted to the Data Centers located in Ponta Delgada and Lisbon, using 2 VSAT links and public Internet (GPRS) and VPN's.

2.3. Data processing

The network is equipped with automatic acquisition and data retrieval software, based on the SeiscomP software (Geofon) running on a Linux platform. The automatic detection and analysis is made on a in-house developed platform that uses resources from SEISAN package. The data is automatically analysed and later manually revised.

Madeira and Mainland seismicity is monitored from Lisbon Data Centre. The seismic surveillance of Azores is made locally on a service distributed into 3 observatories.

2.3.1. Seismic surveillance

In case of earthquakes that might be felt, usually the ones for which at least a PGA of 0,1cm/s2 is forecasted for the nearest locality, a specific alert is send to the Civil Protection Agencies, usually less than 4 minutes after origin time in the mainland and Madeira, and few minutes more in the Azores.

Also, all the parametric data from earthquakes with local magnitude above 2.0 are reported to the EMSC.

All the phase data for local, regional and distant earthquakes, together with the computed hypocentres, are published in monthly preliminary bulletins, and is available in the Web.

2.3.2. Macroseismic processing

In the reporting period a “did you feel it” questionnaire was implement in the IPMA web page, and become a very useful tool to quickly obtain macroseismic data. An algorithm for automatic evaluation was developed (WEBMINT) and implemented, allowing the annalist on duty to rapidly assess the macrosseismic field.

This information is also fed into the shakemap generation procedures.

2.3.3. Shakemaps

The shakemap service was developed during the reporting period and implemented in January 2014, for the moment limited to earthquakes occurring in the Mainland and Madeira areas.


IUGG 2015 3/20

Usually within 5 minutes after the earthquake it is possible to generate maps with the distribution of the macrosseismic, peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity fields. The information is available on the web page of IPMA.

2.3.4. Raw data sharing

Waveform data from five of the broadband stations (PMOZ, ROSA, PFVI, PESTR and PVAQ) is sent to ORFEUS and IRIS/DMC in real-time, where it is made available to the community. There are also some agreements with other institutions granting the access to more stations in real time.

2.4. Geomagnetism

During the reporting period IPMA performed several geomagnetic campaigns in the national territory, surveying a network of repeating stations. The gathered information was used to study the magnetic fields and also to obtain the information that is required by the military and civil aviation.

It was not possible to implement the so needed geomagnetic observatories, mainly in Azores, mostly due to the lack of funds.

2.5. Participation in Projects

CTBTO – Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization – On 1999, the former IM has been choose by the PTS to be the local partner for the operation and maintenance of two IMS stations: one T-phase hydroacoustic station and one Infrasound array, both in Azores islands. IM, who has performed the site survey for the installation of the T-Phase hydroacoustic station, and was the responsible for its installation, on 2004. This Station was certified in 2005, and since then IM and now IPMA is operating and maintaining it.

IRIS/IDA – Since 1996, the former IM now IPMA is the local responsible for the operation and maintenance of the CMLA station, which belongs to the San Diego University. On 2012, significant improvements have be introduced, namely on the data transfer process which is now done through a stable frame-relay connection between the CRF and the Ponta Delgada Observatory and from there to world through Internet.

GEOFON – Since 1997, former IM now IPMA, has been cooperating with the Potsdam GFZ in the operation of a very broadband station at Manteigas, Portugal, and belonging to the GEOFON network.

Participation in several national projects, mainly funded by the Science and Technology Foundation (FCT): CV-PLUMME – Research on the geometry and deep signature of the mantelic plume in Cape Verde archipelago; WILAS – Lithosphere and Asthenosphere structure below the western Iberia peninsula; SIGMA – Characterization of the seismic action in the Azores archipelago; AQUAREL – Quantification of the earthquakes and internal structure at regional scale: application to Western Iberia; QUAKELOC – Earthquake precise hypocentre determination on Portugal mainland and adjacent area; INSPIRE – Instrumental study of the Portuguese earthquakes between 1900 and 1960;

Participation in international projects, mainly funded by the European Commission: NEAREST – Integrated Observations From NEAR Shore SourcES of Tsunamis Towards an Early Warning System; TRIDEC – Collaborative, Complex and Critical Decision-Support in Evolving Crises; NERA – Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake Risk Assessment and Mitigation; EPOS-PP – European Plate Observing System, preparatory phase; ASTARTE - Assessment, Strategy and Risk Reduction for Tsunamis in Europe.

3 – IDL – Instituto Dom Luiz

3.1. Introduction

IDL is an Associated Laboratory of the Portuguese Research System, based at the University of Lisbon but integrating researchers from other Portuguese Universities and research institutions. Established in 1853 as the Portuguese pioneer research institution in Meteorology and Geophysics, IDL has evolved into an integrative Earth System research institute, with a mission that is currently defined around the three strategic lines:

1) Climate change at the eastern Atlantic boundary, from coupled atmosphere-ocean processes to multiscale variability and extremes;

2) Coupled deep Earth and surface processes and their implications for georesources and natural hazards management, with the Iberian-Atlantic region as a prime natural laboratory;


IUGG 2015 5/20

3) Secure and sustainable energy in the 21st century energy transition, incorporating a solid geoscience know-how base into energy strategies and technologies.

IDL is organized in research groups, coordinated by a steering committee, supervised by an international Advisory Committee. IDL research facilities includes state-of-the-art computing, analytical labs and field equipment. At its UL base IDL researchers closely interact with more than 1000 undergraduate students in Earth Science degrees and Energy and Environment.

RG5: Earthquakes, Volcanism and Lithospheric Processes

Research Group 5 (RG5), “Earthquakes, Volcanism and Lithospheric Processes”, results mainly from the merging of two previous IDL groups: “Seismology and Earth Tomography” and “Seismic and Volcanic Hazards”. The first, composed of seismologists, dedicated to imaging the Earth’s inner structure and to understanding Earth’s deep processes. The latter included geologists, volcanologists and seismologists working towards the assessment of earthquake and volcanic hazards. Together, the two groups focused on active tectonic and volcanic processes, mainly based on the natural laboratories of the Iberian-Atlantic and African regions, contributing to improve our knowledge of the Earth’s inner mechanisms and to assess natural hazards.

RG5 operates a number of research infrastructures (RIs). In seismology, IDL runs a network of 4 seismic stations in Portugal, which continuously stream data to national and international data servers (IPMA, IRIS, ORFEUS, http://idl.ul.pt/node/47). IDL also led the most important seismic experiment in Portugal of the last decades, densely covering the mainland territory with broadband stations for a period of two years (2010-2012). This experiment was carried out in coordination with the twin project TopoIberia, in Spain. IDL continued to develop and maintain its GIS seismotectonics database, whose information was included in the Quaternary Active Faults Database of Iberia (QAFI) (http://www.igme.es/infoigme/aplicaciones/qafi/) and used to update the seismic hazard map of Europe (http://www.share-eu.org). RG5 is deeply involved with the European Plate Observing System (EPOS, http://www.epos-eu.org), the integrated solid Earth sciences research infrastructure included in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) Roadmap (http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=esfri-roadmap). RG5 members head the national effort to include the Portuguese counterpart of EPOS on the national roadmap, an effort to guarantee long-term sustained funding for its laboratories, field equipment and digital infrastructures.

4 – CGE - Geophysics Centre of Évora

4.1 Introduction

From 2011 to 2014 the Centro de Geofísica de Évora (CGE) da Universidade de Évora, funded by the FCT , was organized in two main Groups (Projects): FIDAC (Physics and Dynamics of the Atmosphere and Climate), enclosing two Sub-Groups: the Atmospheric Physics and Climate and the Transfer Phenomena in the Geosphere Sub-Groups and SEISMOLITOS (Seismotectonics and processes of lithospheric deformation), attached to the Internal Geophysics and Seismology and to the Dynamics of Geological Processes Sub-Groups. Each of the four Sub-Groups has a scientific coordinator which is elected by the members of the Sub-Group.

At the end of 2011 an internal reorganization was carried out and the two main Groups - FIDAC and SEISMOLITOS' s evolved to a broader approach with respect to its research activities, thus turning out in the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere and Solid Earth Research Lines, respectively. By doing this reorganization the CGE team intends to focus the scientific activities of the Research Lines on the study of the objects of study, in this case the atmosphere and the hydrosphere or the earth, instead of focusing on the different disciplines, such as physics, climatology, meteorology, ecology geophysics, geology or any other, as before.

The first Research Line (Atmosphere and Hydrosphere) comprises three activity centres (Sub-Groups): the Meteorology & Climate (M&C), the Water& Environment & Surface Processes (W&E&SP) and the Energy& Flow Structures (E&FS) Sub-Groups aiming at having a more complete picture of the two Sub-systems of the Climate System (Atmosphere and Hydrosphere) , their interactions and their implications in the future of the planet; the second Research Line (Solid Earth) attach three activity centres (Sub-Groups): the Active Tectonics & Risks, the Lithosphere, Mantle & Geological Resources and the Heritage & Archeometry Sub-Groups aiming at having a more complete picture of the Earth's surface and interior and a more understanding of its dynamics.

5 - CERENA - Centre for Natural Resources and the Environment

5.1 Introduction

CERENA-Centre for Natural Resources and the Environment was created in 2006, from the merging of three experienced research centres and groups of IST that were developing separately their activities in the areas of natural resources and the environment. The motivation to merge these complementary groups was related to the strong affinity in their research domains and to join synergies that lead to relevant improvements in the research conditions and on the increase of their relative performance. In 2013, CERENA decided to focus its strategy on the enlargement of the group in order to become a reference centre in the three main areas of Energy, Raw Materials and Environment.

Hence, CERENA experienced a new expansion that resulted from the affinity and complementary competences of other Centres and groups of researchers, namely: CEPGIST (Centro de Petrologia e Geoquímica, IST/ULisboa), CPQ (Centro de Processos Químicos, IST/ULisboa), IBB (Instituto de Biolotecnologia e Bioengenharia, IST/ULisboa) and CIGAR (Centro de Geo-Ambiente e Recursos, FEUP) and also a Seismology Group of ICIST ( Instituto de Engenharia de Estruturas, Território e Construção do IST/ULisboa). All these R&D units were closed and this extinction will come into effect from January 2015, with the exception of ICIST.


IUGG 2015 17/20

The IST Seismology Lab has two main lines of activity, Seismic monitoring and Hazard assessment. The lab is a research infrastructure of C4G – Collaboratory for Geosciences, a consortium included in the National Roadmap of Research Infrastructures of Strategic Interest. The lab is listed on RIDE, the research infrastructure database of EPOS – the European Plate Observing System.

The IST Seismology Lab operates a very-broadband seismographic network –NAVIGATORS – and a broadband seismographic network – TAGUSNET, both equipped with real time telemetry.

The aim of the NAVIGATORS network is to improve the seismic coverage of the south-western region of Iberia and the Azores Gibraltar plate boundary. The NAVIGATORS network is composed of four seismic stations, two located in Mainland Portugal, one in South Morocco and one in Madeira Island. The stations are equipped with STS-2 seismometers and Quanterra Q330 data loggers.

The aim of the TAGUSNET Network is to contribute to the real-time monitoring of the Lower Tagus Valley Region, near Lisbon. The TAGUSNET Network is composed of 5 stations, equipped with Guralp CMG-40T sensors and Guralp DM24 data loggers. The data centre of the Seismology Laboratory is equipped with a Dell server (2 Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors 5400 series) with storage capacity of 146 GB. The power sources include Standard 670 Watt hot-plug power supply and a redundant 670 Watt power supply.

IST Seismology Lab adheres to the principles of free distribution of data in real time advocated by the Federation of Digital Seismographic Networks. The data are transmitted in real-time in the Seismology laboratory and forwarded to the ORFEUS international data centre.

The IST Seismology Lab has led seismic hazard assessment of Portugal through a series of research projects, both national and European. Presently it hosts the Line of Excellence project SEICHE – Seismicity of Plate Interiors and Challenges to Hazard Assessment. Volcanic risk mitigation and volcanic hazard assessment have also been contemplated through research projects at national and European level, and contract work.

6 – CGUC Geophysics Centre of Coimbra University

6.1 Introduction

During this period GCUC established (in cooperation) a new continuously recording seismic station (PCAL) and upgraded the Coimbra station (COI) that is of its own responsibility. Both stations have the data transmitted in real time to IPMA (the Portuguese institution responsible for seismic monitoring) and also to ORFEUS and IRIS at the International level. GCUC has been also an active partner on the EPOS European initiative.

The Coimbra station is also one of the oldest that has been operating in Portugal. The paper recordings are being digitalized and will be soon available to the whole scientific community. Also the old instruments were recovered and are now at display at the GCUC facilities in Coimbra.
